RADIATOR SHIELD I Application filed August 3, 1929. s e riailvo. 383,258.v

' The present'invention relates to shields for radiatorsand embodies, more specifically, a shield which has telescoping sections whereby the same may beeasily adjusted to radiators of varying sizes. The use of radiator Sl118lClS'1S'b80011l1ng 'quite wide and the ornamental effect produced thereby has been the main factor controlling their production. Little attention has been given tothe specific features of construction, through the instrumentality of which the'shield is rendered not only ornamental but extremely serviceable and useful as an article of furniture, as well as simple and inexpensive in construction.

The present invention, accordingly, seeks to provideai radiator shield which is artistic and ornamental in design and, construction, as well as highlystable when applied to'the radiator. f

A further object of the invention is to provide a radiator shield havingsections which Y telescope to adapt the cover to varying sizes of radiators.

A further obJect of the invention ,is to provide a radiator shield of the above character which combines within its elementsa' water trough.

Further objects, not specifically enumerated above, will be apparent as the 1nvent1on is described in greater detail in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:

' Figure 1 is a view in side elevation,.partly broken away, and in section showing the radiator'shield constructed in accordance with the present invent on.

Figure 2 is a plan view, partly broken,

' away, and in section, showing :the radiator shield of Figurel.

e 40 a V 33 of Figure 1, and looking inthe direc- Figure 3 is a view in section, taken on line tion of the arrows.

Figure at is a detail view showing the su p porting bracket for the shield as it 1s secured to the radiator.

Referring to the a-bove'drawings, a designates a radiator havin an "iven number of coils to which the radiator shield is to be applied. Bracket bhaving spaced lugs Z) are connected by a bolt 6 which passes 'heated.air.-- y 1 7 .Turned up portlons e are PTOVid a through the lugs, and downwardly extending arms 5 carried by the respective brackets b, engage under the connecting portionof. the,

ra'diator between the coils. ":Thesejarn sb extend 1n-'op'pos1te' directions and when applied to the radiatorfand the boltfb? tightengaged byan intermediate section'e.v All:

of the sections include vertical portions 0, d and e which extend downwardlyjb'elow the plane of the top of theradiator. The,

' ened," the brackets bare securely attached totops of the sections project outwardly beyond the vertical portions and maybe formed with; 1

suitable grating 'f-to increase the artistic effeet, as well as provide the desired outlets for eaclrside and at either end of the internie-H diate section 6 and are adapted to rest on the brackets Z). -The bracket-s b are thus positlonedupon the radiator in such manner that they will'engagetheseturned up flanges anclzthe shield is thus supported-at four points in I y stable equilibrium. v

In one of the end sections, herein shown as section d, an opening (P is formed. A

water. trayd having ahandle (Z is received within the opening and is normally. supported above the radiator coils infa fashionlwhich of Figure 3. It will be will be easily understood from an inspection understood that thesp'ecilic shape" andconstructionofthe shield'may be altered v to suit various typesof radiators, as well as designs of'desired types. Therespective sectlons may be tormedfrom a single piece of metal, asby stamping and any nieth'odof' manufactl'lre may be adopted'without depart ing from the scope of the invention asidefined in the appended claims.

I claim as my invention i 5 radiator shield comprising tions, an intermediate section.telescopically engagingthe end sections, the latter 'telescoping over the intermediate sect-ion, supporting bracketssecured to the radiator, inwardly end extending portions on the intermediate section, downwardly extending portions formed at the inner ends of thelast named portions, and struck up arms on the downwardly extending portions lying flush with the-ins wardly extending portions to engage the brackets.
